Show detail Hide detail

Interview by Lisa Weintraub of Rose Alper of Montreal, Quebec about her war work during World War II. To begin, Alper talks about her Rumanian immigrant parents who fled to Canada to escape the growing anti-Semitism in Europe. As a young high school graduate, Alper became interested in the "antifascist movement" and decided to seek war production work in the amphibious aircraft division at the Vickers plant in Montreal in 1942. Alper, later joining Canadair when the aircraft work was transferred from Vickers to the Canadair plant, recalls the working conditions at Canadair, especially for female workers who were regarded as "temporary" but necessary for the war effort. Also, Alper recounts her participation in the unionization of Canadair by the American Federation of Labor by distributing literature and signing up her co-workers. Recalling the "propaganda" directed at women to relinquish their jobs after the war to raise families, Alper concludes by discussing the contribution women made to the war effort and reflects on that period and its influence on her and other women.
